Phil Mickelson is known as one of the most entertaining players in the history of golf, with that title being on show at LIV Golf Virginia.
Enjoying a fine season on the LIV Golf League, the six-time Major winner was in contention at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, with Mickelson performing one of the best pitch shots you'll ever see on the par 4 17th.
Following numerous weather delays, the 54-year-old returned to the course and, after five birdies and one bogey, Mickelson found himself four-under for the day.
Parring the 16th, the magic moment came at the 17th where, after putting his drive behind a tree, Mickelson then hit a wedge into the lip of the bunker. Faced with a near impossible up-and-down, it seemed Mickelson's charge was over, but this is one of the best short game players of all time we're on about...
With his feet in the bunker, and the ball above his feet, the American's shot looked like it could well go over his head. However, what followed was an incredible pitch that, somehow, found its way into the bottom of the cup.
Striking the ball, it landed left of the flag and, with copious amounts of spin on it, the ball rolled in for an incredible birdie that left not just the fans, but those watching worldwide, in shock.

After that birdie, Mickelson then birdied the 18th hole to register a 13-under-par total and a share of fourth spot, one of his strongest finishes on the LIV Golf League.
Following his solo third at LIV Golf Hong Kong, the HyFlyers GC captain then produced a solo sixth at LIV Golf Miami, with the tied fourth finish in Virginia putting Mickelson 11th in the individual standings on the LIV Golf League.
